Doing the best we can(Remastered)

I used to swear I had it right Held tight to every childhood fight Thought I knew what love should mean And blamed the ones who raised me But time’s a mirror, not a map And looking back, I see the cracks Not flaws, just signs they did their best With tired hearts and heavy chests ⸻ [Chorus] When we’re young, we form opinions ’Bout the world through cloudy visions Then we spend our lives defendin’ Truths that never had clear beginnings But freedom comes when we can see Those early thoughts ain’t meant to be A final word, just part of the plan And everyone—including our parents— Was doin’ the best they can That shift is where the healing starts It rewrites pain, reworks our hearts Let’s let go of the story we once knew And live with more compassion, me and you ⸻ [Verse 2] There’s grace in sayin’ “I was wrong” In learnin’ we all just belong To broken lines and hands that tried To hold the good, let wrongs slide Now I don’t flinch when memories rise I see the truth behind the lies It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t fear Just echoes of what brought us here ⸻ [Chorus] When we’re young, we form opinions ’Bout the world through cloudy visions Then we spend our lives defendin’ Truths that never had clear beginnings But freedom comes when we can see Those early thoughts ain’t meant to be A final word, just part of the plan And everyone—including our parents— Was doin’ the best they can That shift is where the healing starts It rewrites pain, reworks our hearts Let’s let go of the story we once knew And live with more compassion, me and you ⸻ [Bridge] I held a grudge like it was gold But peace is warmer to hold The past don’t owe me nothin’ now Just gave me what it knew somehow ⸻ [Final Chorus] When we’re young, we form opinions ’Bout the world through cloudy visions But we can choose a softer lens Forgive the past and make amends Yeah, freedom comes when we can see Those early thoughts ain’t meant to be A final word, just part of the plan And everyone—including our parents— Was doin’ the best they can So I’ll let go of the weight I used to bear And find compassion waitin’ there
